What is a Timing Belt?

A timing belt is a rubber belt that works in conjunction with the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft of your vehicle.

Consequently, the car engine’s valves close and open at the right times. The moment at which the valves open and closes influences engine performance, emissions, and fuel economy – so accurate timing is essential.

All timing have their own replacement intervals. Exceeding these intervals will have the potential to snapping and destroying your engine – resulting in MUCH, MUCH costlier repairs and nobody likes that, not us and not our wonderful clients.

Below is a time frame we recommend for VW Transporters:

• Timing bet – renewals – 140,000 miles or 48 months
• Timing belt tensioner – renewals – 140000 miles or 48 months

Changing the timing belt on this Tansporter, ensured that a costly repair bill down the line has been avoided. 

It’s important to note that the above timing belt replacement intervals quoted by the manufacturer should be regarded as the maximum. Due to variations in vehicle usage and operating conditions the belt may need to  be replaced earlier than specified.
